Diaw spent his last season in the NBA with the Jazz before he went to his native country, France, to play for a year after Utah waived him.

Diaw, who starred for several seasons in France's top pro league, was selected No. 21 overall by the Hawks in the 2003 draft and played two seasons with Atlanta before he was traded to the Suns in 2005, where his career really started to take off. He was there for roughly 2 1/2 seasons before being dealt to Charlotte in 2008.
